Shopping and strolling
For those addicted to shopping, the town centre and its pedestrian streets combine all kinds of shops: famous labels, young milliners, department stores, designers, fine delicatessens... You will find everything you are looking for (and certainly much more…).
Shops are open from Monday to Saturday, 10am-6pm.
If you enjoy hunting for antiques...
Second-hand market at St. Pholien
Every Friday 7am-noon. Boulevard de la Constitution.
Saint-Gilles flea market
Every Saturday from 8am-1pm. Boulevards Kleyer and Hillier.
The Hors-Château district is also famous for its numerous antique dealers.
La Batte
The La Batte market is a veritable institution. It is actually the largest and oldest market in Belgium. Colourful stalls offer fruit and vegetables, cheeses, clothes, flowers, books... with the cries of the traders calling out the prices and singing the praises of the freshness of their produce in French or the local Walloon dialect.
Sunday mornings 8am-2.30pm.
